On the 13th day of Christmas

I woke very early this morning, and something was missing. It may have been my hubby, who is currently in the UK to see The Who (who?), but really I think it was the lack of wind and rain that was missing! Too nice to stay in bed I was up, and out, as soon as it was light enough.As I was walking on the beach, thinking Christmassy thoughts, I decided that I'd see if I could put together a 12-days-of-christmas themed nature trail whilst I wandered along the bay. And so I did, sort of!Twelve sea glass nuggets. Eleven Flint nodules. Ten cuttlefish bones. Nine limpet shells.

Eight granite monoliths.

Seven (vaguely) heart-shaped stones.

Six lively pebbles.

Five different seaweeds.

Four stripy stones.

Three flighty feathers.

Two scallop shells.

And one (shark casing) mermaids purse.My ten minute walk along the beach turned into 3 hours of outdoor fun in the sun. Wonderful!
